Someone should remind the Pope that walls saved Christendom from Islam. Constantinople's walls held it back for 500 years but those walls failed and we know the sad outcome. Luckily, the Walls of Vienna held off Islam, twice or Islam would have advance deep into Germany and maybe beyond.
A section of the old bastions (Molkerbastei) preserved to retain an old house and a relief celebrating the 1683 fights which took place on that site (The relief shows Christian soldiers behind a wall killing invading Turkish Muslims).

Nehemiah from the bible thought it was a good idea.

It doesn’t appear this Pope cares. One religion is as good as another.

If Vienna hadn’t been fortified in 1683 I’d be wearing a burka today!!

Pope a dope doesn’t think izzlam is a problem. Thanks in part to him, muzz’s are infesting Europe and will soon pay a visit to the Vatican.

This MSM created issue was exposed today by Limbaugh. It seems some reporter asked the pope a detailed question about building a wall and the pope responded with a detailed reply which does not even mention Trump by name.
Rush read the popes original statement and included a clarification from Catholic Leagues Donahugh . Very likely someone will be posting that here in FR so watch for it.
